Students Get Great Microsoft Pricing
Going back to school after almost 20 years was a shock to my psyche, but it turns out I absorbed more than I did in college the first time around. I had one class where I was given a “B” and I never did find out why since the professor turned his grades in late and then virtually dropped off the face of the earth. Other than that, I pulled off a 3.9 GPA by getting “A”s in all of my other classes. I sure didn’t do that when I was in college in my late teens and early 20s. I feel like college was actually easier and more worth my while in my 30s.
One thing I have been able to take advantage of this time around that I could not back in the 80s and early 90s is the student pricing on software. Maybe it was available then, but I had an electronic typewriter my first year of college and then finally brought my dad’s little Apple 2c to school. It had all the software it needed and I was the hero of my floor in my dorm, since nobody else had a computer in their room. Laptops for students these days seem like a right of passage.
Anyway, if you look at CostCaptain.com you will see that you can get 100% authentic Microsoft products at quite literally a fraction of a price if you are a student or an educator, school, college, or library. Just provide proof of eligibility and you can get Microsoft Office 2007 Professional for $149.99 while the Microsoft site has it listed at $499.95. That’s amazing.
